The City of Findlay Police Department has teamed with CivicPlus to implement its NextRequest solution, a web-based platform designed to simplify and modernize public records management.

The platform enables residents to easily submit public records requests, track their status, and access records, which ultimately promotes greater transparency and government accountability.

By automating workflows and streamlining request processing, NextRequest makes it faster and easier for staff to respond to requests and honor Freedom of Information Act and state-specific public records laws.

“The Findlay Police Department is committed to transparency and accountability. By implementing CivicPlus’ NextRequest platform, we are giving our community a modern and efficient way to access public records. This system will help us streamline workflows, strengthen compliance, and ensure requests are handled quickly and accurately—building greater trust between the department and the residents we serve.”- Chief James Mathias

All records requests for the Findlay Police Department will be directed to the on-line request portal.

With NextRequest, the Findlay Police Department will be able to maximize resources and improve time management, ensuring records requests are handled efficiently, even during high-demand periods.

All records requests for the Findlay Police Department will be directed to their on-line request portal at
findlaypoliceoh.nextrequest.com/requests/new.
